River Angler

Having been too busy to get out midweek due to work, I was very keen to get some fishing in this weekend. Temps were up and I had in mind to...

After some chub success on my first trip to the river wear last week, I got out this afternoon in search of something bigger. What a contras...

Got out this morning for my first attempt at wear chub (other than one or two half hearted attempts a year or two ago). Walked downstream f...

So I had my winter campaign planned out. Having successfully had six pound chub from the river Swale previously, one of my prime targets was...

I was fortunate (very fortunate!) enough to enter and win a drennan competition with the prize being a drennan acolyte 13ft distance feeder ...

The pike rods have been dusted off, new reels purchased (shimano 8000d's), rigs tied up and I was up and on the river tees for daybreak ...

I managed to squeeze in a couple of hours fishing tonight, arriving shortly before dark. The River Tees is really on its arse - desperately...

I recently acquired a couple of 12ft 1.25lb Specialist Avon / Quivers, with perch and tench in mind but also as a chub rod. I though i'd...

Well its been a week or so since my last update, and I've been out a few times.... 02/01/17 - A quick couple of hours on the tees ...

Well thats the sort of fishing I like. A cracking morning to be out, following a hard overnight frost, and a misty morning. I decided to fi...

It's been a while since I've updated my blog, for various reasons, but mainly just been too busy (and there is no decent app for upd...
